We enjoyed staying at this historic hotel. It’s very beautiful and the staff is kind, outgoing, and helpful. One negative aspect was we were put on a floor with a barking dog, crying baby, and children next door. Aside from the noise pollution it was a great stay and would stay again.

Great hotel but bad experience for us
Love the Pfister but this time was a bad experience. Maybe some unfortunate luck with heating and cooling unit in the room not working. And being told room was ready so we came and then waited over an hour for room to get cleaned. We will probably be back, but not anytime soon.
